I am a health and wellness educator, renowned speaker, fitness coach, and author. I am the Co-founder of Ageless Workout with my partner, Shebah Carfanga. I teach that agelessness is a mindset and aim to help my clients challenge the aging process through bespoke fitness and nutrition regimens. Wellness is in our DNA, as Shebah and I are wholeheartedly committed to the wellness lifestyle we design for our clients. My commitment to wellness helps me foster strong relationships with clients and lead with empathy. Decades ago, a health scare forced me to look closer at my physical and mental health. This brush with heart disease led me to start exercising, teaching and managing fitness programs and eventually opening my own fitness business.
Today, my core focus is men's preventative health. We have also recently created a medical fitness practice, Panache Healing, with the intention of not only helping clients recover from injuries and illness but also coming back stronger so that they can get back to doing the things they love—without physical restrictions or limitations. I am most proud of my personal growth and development. I call myself an "adaptive navigator" who can turn negatives into positives. Don't let a condition manage you, manage your condition. I have a B.S. in Recreation Administration from Kansas State University and an M.S. in Public Administration from the University of Kansas. I am a certified Functional Aging Specialist, a Titleist Golf Fitness Specialist, and a Stretch Zone Practitioner. In addition, I have several other certifications in Spin, TRX, and Group Fitness. When I am not teaching in Ageless Workout, I add pieces to my art collection, read, listen to music, or book our next trip.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being willing to come face to face with what you don't know and learning to empower others who know what you don't know.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Start with your why.
- Get around big thinkers.
- Manage your overall health.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Be willing to keep going when it looks like you can't make another move. Rest if you must, but don't quit. Inch by inch!
